Classes were finally over for the day. The hallway began to slowly fill with students making their way towards the main exit, with some heading to their lockers first. Shuichi was doing the latter, currently placing some extra school stuff inside his locker. He had been excited about today, as he planned to visit the Jinbocho district in the Chiyoda area of Tokyo. Jinbocho was also known as the ‘book town’, so it naturally become a favorite area of the detective’s to visit every now and then. It had actually been a while since he last went, so he was sure some of the antique bookstores will have a lot of new selections, which he was excited to check out.
Shuichi had actually received a pretty nice pay from the client he helped on the latest case he completed, so for once: he’ll indulge himself and buy as many books as he wants. While he normally goes by himself, he was actually curious to see if Hope would be free to come along with him. It had been a while since they really spent time together, so this would be a nice way to do so, if she’ll be free.
Once he was done putting his stuff away, he closes up his bag and hoists it over his shoulder. He begins heading over to her locker, hoping she will be there. Seeing that she indeed was, he beams and continues making his way over there.
“Hope-san...!” He calls out, stopping before her with a small wave. “Hey there...! I ah, know this is sudden pretty sudden, but I was wondering if you were free to hang out today? It’s been a while since we did, and I would rally like to! I was going to head over to the Jinbocho district, if you’re familiar with that area...? It has a lot of old bookstores around there, and I was planning on visiting one. So I was curious if you may want to come along...? Of course, only if you’re free to and would like to. Maybe we can even visit a cafe or something afterwards, too: my treat...!”
